Spacious 8-Bed Villa; Pool, Mountain Views, Easy Access to Céret, Coast & Spain
Perfect for exploring Catalan coast, mountains & Spain - on foot, by bike or car
Ideally located on the outskirts of Céret - the jewel of French Catalonia - , this spacious four-bedroom villa offers the best of both worlds: peace and privacy with panoramic mountain views, yet within walking distance (20 minutes) of the town’s vibrant centre.
Whether you’re drawn to the little fishing village of Collioure, the golden beaches of the Côte Vermeille, the dramatic biking/hiking trails of the Pyrenees, or the art and culture of French and Spanish Catalonia, this villa is the perfect base.
Spacious Layout with Four Comfortable Bedrooms
The villa includes four bedrooms, comfortably sleeping up to eight guests. A recently converted ground-floor twin room features its own en-suite shower room—ideal for guests needing step-free access. The layout is bright and open, with modern living spaces that flow easily into the garden and pool area.

Private Pool, Large Garden & Mountain Views
Surrounded by a beautifully landscaped and secluded garden, the villa offers exceptional outdoor space. Enjoy a large private swimming pool, a sun terrace for lounging, and three distinct outdoor dining areas—each with mosaic and wrought iron furniture. A conservation area borders the property, preserving its peace, privacy, and uninterrupted views of the foothills.

Walkable Access to Historic Céret
While the villa enjoys a peaceful setting across the river from central Céret, it’s just a 25-minute stroll to the town’s charming streets, art galleries, and famous Saturday market. The nearby spa town of Amélie-les-Bains also offers a relaxing day out with thermal baths and wellness treatments.

Owner Tips
We love taking the scenic drive to Collioure for lunch by the harbour, or heading across the border to the beaches of Palafrugell or the Dalí Museum in Figueres. Don’t miss Céret’s open-air Saturday market—it’s one of the best in the region for local produce, cheese, and Catalan specialities.

About the host
Hosted by David and Anne Powell
We are are a family of four from the UK who originally bought the house with friends after we had visited the area on holiday in 2004 and just fell in love with it. We still feel we've only just begun to discover the vast historical, cultural and artistic treasurehouse that is the Languedoc region, as well as the many opportunities for relaxing holiday pursuits it offers. We hope you will feel similarly drawn to this wonderful and still relatively little known part of France.
Why they chose this property
We were attracted by the mix of French and Spanish culture in this area of Catalonia, 10 minutes from the Spanish border. Ceret, the local town, draws thousands of visitors to its mediaeval streets and shady squares. The stunning scenery and the Mediterranean light has and for decades attracted artists to the area and Ceret features a world-famous art museum. The wider region offers mountain walks through breath taking precip gorges; beach resorts from the rocky coves of the beautiful old fishing village of Collioure and the bays of Costa Brava to the long beaches of white sandy beaches of the Cote Vermeille; international festivals of classical music at Prades and folk music at Amelie; and of course a variety of local wines and dishes.
What makes this property unique
The house is in a secluded residential area but only five minutes drive or 20 minutes walk from the town centre. Every room in the house has views of the Canigou mountain, still covered in snow in mid May. Further afield, but just 10 minutes away is the Spanish border; in additional to the wonderful beaches and cuisine of the Costa Brava (Pau being one of our favourite coastal towns with its wonderful beach fish restaurants, you can visit the cultural sites in Barcelona, Dali's house and museum and many beautiful ancient Spanish towns. There are great activities 5 minutes drive from the house in Saint Jean including an outdoor adventure lake/activity centre which includes boating, swimming, water skiing and zip wires as well as a recently extended high level adventure centre.
